a good day

i have been in korea for 5 months now... crazy. the day i get back from thailand, i will have been in korea for 6 months. that's half way through my 1 year contract. as of right now, things are still up in the air as to whether or not i am going to resign. i am leaning more towards not resigning and moving on to something else, but we will see. 

speaking of thailand, today i ordered my new memory card for my camera. i ordered an 8GB memory stick, because 2GB isn't going to be big enough for 16 days in thailand. so with 10GB total, that should be plenty for pictures and videos throughout the trip. 

i also learned last week that one of the girls i was supposed to go with to thailand can no longer go for personal family reasons. so now it's down to me and stephanie. i think we have everything figured out and there won't be any bumps in the road. so it's me and steph in thailand for 16 days. so far the plan is as follows: 

August 12th- leave for Bangkok. we are in Bangkok until the 15th. 
August 15th- night train from Bangkok to Chaing Mai. we arrive the morning of the 16th. check into our hostel and have the rest of the day to explore a bit. 
August 17th- leave for a 3 day/2 night trek trip. including staying in 2 local villages, a raft trip down a river, some hiking and an elephant ride. we get back the night of August 19th. on our own in Chaing Mai till the 22nd. That includes my 24th birthday! :)
August 22nd- Fly from Chaing Mai to Phuket. arrive in Phuket and island hop till we leave. 
August 28th- leave Thailand and head back to Korea. 

i have 3 days left on summer camp. i can't wait to be done. we are playing apples to apples tomorrow and getting to play frisbee outside (if the weather cooperates). thursday is all about food. i'm hoping to get to make rice krispee treats with them. then friday is movie day. we are going to be watching Cars.

next week i have 4 full days of desk warming. desk warming is exactly what it sounds like... i have to be at school for 4 days, but since it's summer vacation, i will be at my desk, doing basically whatever i want. so i fully plan on using the beds in the back of the office to sleep. i will be reading/finishing the new stephanie plum book. i will also be hopefully finishing the west wing as well. i am currently working on disk 5 of season 6. i have till the 11th to finish season 7. that means i will have watched the entire series of the west wing in 3.5 months. who would have thought i would have ever not only watched the west wing, but actually love it. i'm blaming mark... and jennie for letting me borrow the dvds. 

also for next week i need to finish doing research for thailand. and finalizing things with stephanie about everything. only 11 more days until thailand... it's going to be amazing. 


now back to more west wing before it's time to pack up and go home. 

team thailand!
